Adaptation and Pilot Testing of a Sexual Health Intervention for Female Survivors of Violence

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SEXUALITY EDUCATION, 13(1), 40–64.

By: B. Montgomery *, A. Jones *, S. Sanders*, A. McGraw, B. Williams*, K. Stewart  n, S. Ounpraseuth *

author keywords: Battered women; intervention/treatment; intervention; mental health and violence; sexuality
TL;DR: Preliminary results suggest that participation in an existing evidence-based women-focused sexual risk-reduction intervention could reduce risk factors for sexually transmitted infections. (via Semantic Scholar)

The ecology of insect–yeast relationships and its relevance to human industry

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 285(1875), 20172733.

By: A. Madden n, M. Epps*, T. Fukami *, R. Irwin n, J. Sheppard n, D. Sorger n, R. Dunn n 

Contributors: A. Madden n, M. Epps*, T. Fukami *, R. Irwin n, J. Sheppard n, D. Sorger n, R. Dunn n 

author keywords: diffuse mutualism; dispersal; Ascomycota
MeSH headings : Animals; Ascomycota / physiology; Biological Evolution; Ecosystem; Food Industry; Humans; Insecta / microbiology; Plant Nectar / metabolism; Symbiosis
TL;DR: This work proposes a ‘dispersal–encounter hypothesis' whereby yeasts are dispersed by insects between ephemeral, spatially disparate sugar resources, and insects, in turn, obtain the benefits of an honest signal from yeasts for the sugar resources. (via Semantic Scholar)

Homogenizing an urban habitat mosaic: arthropod diversity declines in New York City parks after Super Storm Sandy

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 28(1), 225–236.

By: A. Savage *, E. Youngsteadt n, A. Ernst*, S. Powers*, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

Contributors: A. Savage *, E. Youngsteadt n, A. Ernst*, S. Powers*, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

author keywords: biotic homogenization; disturbance adapted; diversity; extreme weather; hurricane; New York City; Super Storm Sandy; tipping point; urban ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Biodiversity; Cyclonic Storms; New York City; Parks, Recreational; Stress, Physiological; Urbanization
TL;DR: The results suggest that the species that survive in high stress environments are likely to be the ones that thrive in response to acute disturbance, which may lead to diversity loss in cities, potentially leading entire urban landscapes to mirror the reduced diversity of street medians.

Urbanization disrupts latitude-size rule in 17-year cicadas

ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 8(5), 2534–2541.

By: D. Beasley  n, C. Penick  n, N. Boateng n, H. Menninger * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: D. Beasley  n, C. Penick  n, N. Boateng n, H. Menninger * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: Bergmann's rule; citizen science; fluctuating asymmetry; geometric morphometrics; periodical cicada; urban ecology
TL;DR: This is the first evidence that urbanization disrupts biogeographical trends in body size, and this pattern highlights how the effects of urbanization may differ over a species’ range. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: K. Stevenson n , M. Peterson  n & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: K. Stevenson n , M. Peterson  n & R. Dunn n 

MeSH headings : Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem
TL;DR: This paper argues that conservation and education have shared problems, and it is argued they have shared solutions. (via Semantic Scholar)

Variation in range size and dispersal capabilities of microbial taxa

ECOLOGY, 99(2), 322–334.

By: M. Choudoir *, A. Barberan *, H. Menninger n, R. Dunn n  & N. Fierer *

Contributors: M. Choudoir *, A. Barberán *, H. Menninger n, R. Dunn n  & N. Fierer *

author keywords: biogeography; dispersal; dust-associated microbes; geographic range size; microbial dispersal; microbiology
MeSH headings : Animals; Archaea; Bacteria / classification; Ecosystem; Plants
TL;DR: Most microorganisms have small ranges and few have large ranges, a pattern similar to the range size distributions commonly observed for macrobes, which provides insight into the factors shaping patterns of microbial biogeography. (via Semantic Scholar)

External immunity in ant societies: sociality and colony size do not predict investment in antimicrobials

ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE, 5(2).

By: C. Penick *, O. Halawani n, B. Pearson n, S. Mathews*, M. Lopez-Uribe *, R. Dunn n , A. Smith n

Contributors: C. Penick *, O. Halawani n, B. Pearson n, S. Mathews*, M. López-Uribe *, R. Dunn n , A. Smith n

author keywords: antimicrobial secretions; antibiotics; social immunity; social insects; ants; entomopathogens
TL;DR: This work quantifies the strength of antimicrobial secretions among 20 ant species that cover a broad spectrum of ant diversity and colony sizes and finds no correlation between antimicrobial activity and colony size. (via Semantic Scholar)
